The Rusich member replies, &#8220;Are you kidding? What is Ukraine?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in\">The post strongly condemns the actions of Binance, complaining that for two months there was no information regarding the blocking of the account. However, it states that all funds were successfully transferred before the account was blocked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"background:white\"><span style=\"vertical-align:baseline\"><span style=\"border:none windowtext 1.0pt;color:black;padding:0in\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"TextDescription automatically generated\" src=\"https:\/\/www.memri.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2022\/Rusich2.png\" style=\"width:172px;height:356px\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MEMRICaption\"><span style=\"border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in\">The post reads: &#8220;Such a policy completely discredited Binance and its management. I recommend that Russian people not use the Binance crypto-exchange services in order to avoid the loss of funds at the whim of the pro-khokhol [a derogatory term \u00a0for Ukrainians] management,&#8221; reads the post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in\">In addition, the channel advises users not to store assets in crypto-exchange accounts, but instead to use hardware wallets. The post contains a link to a Google Docs document titled &#8220;Cryptocurrency Aid For Donbass And Russian Warriors,&#8221; which is a step-by-step guide to buying, storing, and transferring cryptocurrency. Among other things, the document urges users to transfer assets in the Tether cryptocurrency, or if it is not available, in USDC and BUSD. The document recommends using the Trust Wallet app for storing cryptocurrency and the BestChange service for exchanging cryptocurrency and e-money.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"members_only_text paywall\">\n<p>The full text of this post is available to DTTM subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a subscriber, <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"button\" style=\"color: white !important;font-weight: 700;padding: 12px 15px\" href=\"https:\/\/www.memri.org\/user\/login?destination=\/dttm\/russian-neo-nazi-task-force-rusich-affiliated-wagner-group-raises-funds-cryptocurrency\" rel=\"noopener\">log in here<\/a> to read this report.<\/p>\n<p>For information on the required credentials to access this material, visit the <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"button\" style=\"color: white !important;font-weight: 700;padding: 12px 15px\" href=\"https:\/\/www.memri.org\/dttm\/subscription\" rel=\"noopener\">DTTM subscription page<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.memri.org\/dttm\/russian-neo-nazi-task-force-rusich-affiliated-wagner-group-raises-funds-cryptocurrency\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On July 1, 2022, the Telegram channel of Task Force Rusich, a Wagner Group-affiliated militia currently fighting in Ukraine \u2013 which reports on the operations of the &#8220;Diversion and Assault Reconnaissance Group,&#8221; headed by Russian neo-Nazi Alexei Milchakov, in the war in Ukraine \u2013 published a post announcing that while the group was fundraising for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[36],"tags":[9615,52,377,1351,466,9613,518,9614,1396,7948,9616],"class_list":["post-22259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency","tag-affiliated","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-force","tag-funds","tag-group","tag-neonazi","tag-raises","tag-rusich","tag-russian","tag-task","tag-wagner"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/RusichRed1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22259"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22259\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22261,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22259\/revisions\/22261"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/22260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/egrowonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
